Utility CyclingWant to haul groceries, beer, maybe even your kids? You don't have to live car free to put your bike to use as a workhorse. Here's the place to share and learn about the bicycle as a utility vehicle.

Check out these clips. Back is an old 80s MTB, front is .035 and .049 4130. Platform is plywood. Front wheel is 16". Front fork is cut down 26" fork. I shot this video over the last couple of weeks. Design is from Beehive collective of Maine. I didn't make this bike because I already use a trailer, but it does make for an appealing spectacle, and can hold a beer keg or a person and their bike pretty comfortably.
The cool thing about this design as compared to similar ones is the partial re-use of junked bike tubing and the truss construction of the bottom tube. Cheaper than comparable length of 2" tubing, stronger, too.

That's over my head, AllenG. Sounds like a place that would make bikes, but this one was resurrected from an 80s bike at the east end of 'Merica's rust belt and painted with the finest Krylon available.
